EVERTONVSUNDERLAND

Match insight

There's daylight between Everton and Sunderland on the current numbers — this isn't a fixture between equals. Everton currently sit 12 places and 6 points above Sunderland in the table — 5th against 17th. Everton have taken 7 points from their last 5, against 4 for Sunderland over the same stretch. Form and table position both point the same way here, but a class gap on paper is still no guarantee on the day for Everton against a motivated Sunderland.
